iGear Hench and UFO Saved by Reprolabels

Motto: "My banjo is everything; defeat is ukelele"
I have discussed my misgivings about these 2 figures at length, but suffice to say my biggest issues with these 2 guys was lack of detail/paint apps. Thanksfully the new reprolabels sets really help with that. I am in the middle of a move so have not taken pictures, but I have summarised how the stickers have helped below...

Brawn

The dinginess of the alt mode is nicely lifted by the window stickers, which are sky blue foil and really 'pop'. Some of them are tiny and a bit annoying to fit in place, but it is well worth it. There are also headlight and tail light stickers, the tail lights are a bit odd as they wrap around the rear pillars, leaving gaps which I think look odd. You have a choice of 3 different numberplates as well.

Also, there are a couple of detail stickers which are added to the torso. As I always find with Reprolabels, some of the stickers are not to my taste (the small laserbeak), but I would really recommend this set as my opinion of the Hench figure has been changed dramatically by them, to the point where I can look at it without retching.

The vast uninterrupted acres of putrid green have finally been broken up by some much-needed detailing for this alt mode. The 'engines' now look fantastic, with decent shading providing a convincing-looking energy source. There are a few small yellow stickers which I have not applied, because they are designed to sit on existing detailing and it is my opinion that these stickers will come off during transformation or handling. There are also 2 stickers with alien writing on them which I have not applied.

The chest area is also sorted out, with the lazy silver paint apps obscured with a choice of either cartoon or toy-accurate stickers. You also get a couple of stickers to enhance Seaspray too - These all work really well apart from the faceplate which just looks stupid. But this is still a highly-recommended set.

Anyay, I hope this helps anyone else who was underwhelmed with these 2(3) figures, because they now look much better.

I love Hench and UFO with or without stickers as they are just two awesome figures that Hasbro dropped the ball on and will never score a rebound. But I am a big fan of reprolabels and deck out all my 3rd party stuff because it does improve them. Im intend to buy this set along with the Octane and Giant sets in my next order.
